The third publication from StorefrontMB, Re/Imagining Winnipeg brings together twelve provocative ideas for new interventions in Winnipeg’s urban form. Coming from architects, planners and landscape architects, these ideas were originally submitted for a call for ideas sponsored by StorefrontMB and the Winnipeg Free Press. They push the boundaries of what is possible – of what we can imagine – for the future of our city. Edited by Lawrence Bird and Sharon Wohl, with an introduction by Dan Lett, and produced with the support of the RAIC.

The CommerceDesignWinnipeg contest will reward up to ten Winnipeg merchants!

The CommerceDesignWinnipeg contest rewards Winnipeg merchants for the exceptional quality of the interior and exterior design of their business and highlights the talents of designers. Every year it will honour merchants who have called upon practicing designers in architecture, landscape architecture and/or interior design to help them design or renovate their business premises.

First started in Montreal, Commerce Design competitions have now been run in cities across the world including Luxembourg, Marseilles, and New York. Businesses have reported improved visibility in their neighbourhood, an enhanced sense of pride on the part of their employees, and new customers. The designers of the Winnipeg businesses also enjoy greater visibility.
